Application of Magnetic Sensor for Magnetic Profile (1D) and Surface (2D) Measurement of Automotive Wheels

This paper shows a report of over three years of intensive work on application of a 3-axis anisotropic magnetoresistive sensor with I2C interface for measurement of magnetic flux density distribution of automotive wheels. The work was undertaken to answer the question of whether is a possibility to effectively apply low-cost magnetic sensors with serial interface to measure the magnetic field surrounding the automotive wheel or tire. Two measurement techniques were discussed: Magnetic profile (1D) and magnetic surface measurement (2D) over tread, and also gear associated with the sensor, as well as its design, layout, operation, and control technique during (1D) and (2D) measurements. Three experiments were performed to asses accuracy and repeatability concerning component and resultant magnetic circumferential profiles and also magnetic surface. Differences between measurement outcomes in experiment were assessed. The results show that accuracy and repeatability lays below maximum admissible uncertainty declared by the producer. This proves directly that there is no measurable influence of motors, gear, operation, or measurement procedure on results obtained by magnetic sensors, and indirectly, that the assumed requirements regarding gear design and parameters are correct, and measurement of magnetic flux density distribution of automotive wheels and tires using (1D) and (2D) techniques is possible using a 3-axis anisotropic magnetoresistive sensor with I2C interface.
